Archer befriends a large and surprisingly beautiful red-legged grasshopper.
The Bailiwick Ranch & Discovery Zoo, located up the same winding back road as the old Catskill Game Farm, gives kids a chance to get up close and personal with all kinds of creatures. Our kids loved it, but as a parents and animal-lover, I had some concerns.
The best Catskills destination for little kids? Hit the Catskill Mountain Country Store in Windham for a great kid-friendly meal, a souvenir shop and well-stocked toy store, and a storybook-like forest trail that leads to friendly animals and a lush waterfall.
The white, black and fuzzy Hickory Tussock Moth caterpillar looks kinda cuddly, but it's not as friendly as it appears.
